Science and Engineering Challenge

Do you want an exciting way to show your students science and engineering in a new light?
Consider the Science and Engineering Challenge!
The Challenge is an outreach program conducted nationally by the University of Newcastle.  It is designed to inspire students to study science and engineering at a senior level.
Each challenge day, 250 students participate in a series of exciting competitive activities. 
These activities are designed to demonstrate the varied and practical elements of a career in the science and engineering industries.
The Challenge takes the students out of the classroom and gives them a day of fun, teamwork and discovery.

And it works!
